WORLD
OF RADIO SCHEDULE updated April 30:
**
CHINA. 15600, May 1 at 0022, sounds like gospel song and brief talk in unknown
language, averaging S4. HFCC shows only thing now is CRI in Portuguese, aimed NW
from Beijing site, eventually for Brasil. Both short and long path seem
improbable.
15100, May 1 at 0021, SE Asian music at S5. HFCC shows this
one must be CRI in Hakka toward the SSE (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CUBA. 5025, April 30 at 0647, R. Rebelde is S9+20 of dead air.
Circa 0040 UT May 1, no signal at all, as often the case early evenings, and
consequently no leapfrog over RHC 5040 to land on 5055. However, there is a JBA
carrier on 5010, India? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NORTH
AMERICA. 6949.56-AM, May 1 at 0050, pirate music, very poor S7 vs storm noise,
classic rock. Not heard a semihour earlier during first bandscan, but these
report it was Radio Free Mars between 0016 and 0107* -- a new one for me.
(Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PERU [non]. 5980, May 1 at 0044,
again no signal from R. Chaski, but propagation should be OK,
with:
5952.43, Radio Pio XII, BOLIVIA, VP talk at S8 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ROMANIA. 7375 // weaker 9730, RRI playing some
blues during English hour. 7335 // weaker 9790, RRI playing folk music during
Romanian hour (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENNG DIGEST)
** THAILAND. 15590,
May 1 at 0023, JBA carrier, presumably the so-called North American service of
HSK9, R. Thailand in English. It`s a rare day if this is ever listenable. Even
weaker than the Chinese on 15600, 15100, with hardly anything else on 19m except
15730 Cuba (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9455, UT Monday
May 1 at 0031, WRMI with M&W discussing how `Countdown to Xmas Radio` is now
on 9455 and 9395 at 6 pm Mountain time, into a jazzy version of ``Silent
Night``. 9455 is S8-S9, 9395 S9 to S9+5 and noticeably louder (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 5085, April 30 at 0648, JBA station with
music, must be the irregular WTWW-2 rather than usual blast-in. I guess Ted
plays DJ late into the night whenever he feels like it; I am not aware of any
pattern of which nights (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
